When the sky was still gray, the rooster was already dawning.

For the vast majority of the people in Haojing, today is just an ordinary day and nothing special.

There are a few well-informed people who know that there are big figures coming to Haojing. Last night, several lives broke out outside the city gate. Near the military camp where the garrison stationed, they have never been quiet for the whole night.

But no one knows exactly what happened.

Dramatic changes always happen and end in the ignorance of ordinary people.

The more closely the matter is hidden from ordinary people, the bigger the matter is.

When it dawns and the government starts working, the people can feel that the focus of the government work in the entire Gansu and Shaanxi has become to raise materials and allocate troops, with the purpose of rushing to the Crescent Guard.

But except for the slightest rise in prices, this has nothing to do with ordinary people.

At least it will not affect their lives for a short period of time.

At this time, the carriage Li Chen was riding had left Haojing.

"Your Highness, will they be honest and obedient?"

In the carriage, Wan Jiaojiao asked curiously while pounding Li Chen's legs.

Li Chen, who was reading the official document, chuckled and said, "They will be more obedient and harder than the officials in the capital. Do you believe it?"

Wan Jiaojiao smiled brightly and said, "Your Highness said, I believe everything."

At this time, Xu Wei was asking for a meeting outside.

The carriage was spacious enough, so Li Chen asked Xu Wei to come into the carriage to report.

"Your Highness, the Haojing Guard has stationed a total of 20,000 troops. It has been arranged all of them last night. I have killed several generals in a humble position."

Li Chen said lightly: "If you are disobedient, you will kill it. It is better than being alive."

Xu Wei clasped his fists and continued, "In addition, more than 76,000 available soldiers have been collected in the entire Gansu and Shaanxi region. In accordance with His Highness's request, in addition to leaving behind to defend local safety, he has raised 50,000 troops and horses. Today he can set off to help the Crescent Pass."

Nodded, Li Chen asked, "In your opinion, how many of these 50,000 soldiers are truly warable soldiers?"

Xu Wei was silent for a moment before answering: "I didn't see the soldiers from other garrisons, so I dare not make random guesses, but judging by the 20,000 soldiers and horses in the Haojing garrison, no more than 60,000 are truly able to fight. According to this proportion, the 50,000 soldiers and horses can really go to the battlefield, only 30,000."

Li Chen frowned and said, "This is true for Haojing, Ganzhou and Shaanxi. It can be seen that the same is true for other parts of the country. The court allocated so much military expenses every year, and the daily military pay, training costs, and equipment costs were like flowing water, so they created 60% of the soldiers who could be sold out?"

Xu Wei said carefully: "Your Highness, the place is not as good as the capital city after all. The greater responsibility of the troops in the garrison is to protect local safety. Unlike the field army, the field army is directly under the jurisdiction of the court, and its greatest responsibility is to defend the borders of various places. In this way, it is actually understandable."

Li Chen said expressionlessly: "Since that is the case, then the local garrison should not receive the same military pay and military expenditure as the field army."

Xu Wei gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness... In fact, what they took is really different."

Li Chen raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "But the military expenditure sent from various places is exactly the same as that of the field army."

Xu Wei dared not say anything.

The basket below is too big and he dare not touch it.

Xu Wei didn't say it, but Li Chen already understood the meaning.
